On Wednesday night, Chris went BALLISTIC on a parking valet . . . because he didn’t want to pay the guy TEN BUCKS. And yes, there’s VIDEO. Chris showed up with his posse at a charity event at the PINZ bowling alley in L.A. But they only stayed about half an hour. So when the valet demanded $10 in exchange for Chris’ keys, he wasn’t having it.

Luckily, someone in Chris’ crew with a cooler head said, quote, “We got the money . . . don’t worry about it.” It appears in the video that the valet gets his money, and Chris and his people leave without further incident. As he walked away, Chris said, quote, “Funky ass ten dollars.”

In Chris’ ALLEGED defense, a source close to him claims Chris was mad because the guy tried to RIP HIM OFF. Supposedly, other people were only charged $5 for parking . . . but the Valet tried to scam him because he’s famous. So it really wasn’t the money for Chris, it was the principle.
